2. Intended purpose of the subsoiler

The MGP subsoiler is an agricultural machine intended for loosening the soil,
especially the destruction of the plough sole, and airing of the soil (at the depth from 20 to
60 cm) without disturbing its layered structure. As a result, its physical and biological
properties are improved, especially in case of heavy, catchment soils. Aeration and
improvement of the water and air circulation in the soil profile obtained through the use of a
subsoiler ensures an excellent agrotechnical effect. The MGP subsoiler is designed to work
with active machinery. It is equipped with a three-point suspension system and a frame
structure that does not interfere with the WOM shaft, allowing a two-layer cultivation of the
soil. This also ensures comprehensive cultivation for plants that have particular soil
structure requirements (potatoes, sugar beet).
